Amazing, amazing and more amazing. Such a great show. All meat, no filler. Check my Flickr stream for more shots!

Have loved Seu Jorge for a long while, so last night I finally bit the bullet and bought “The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions”. It’s amazing, and a lovely bliss out album for a Sunday morning. Still haven’t figured out how to link to stuff in iTunes - so you’ll have to head over on your own to check it out. Worth the 5 minutes, I promise!

Hey gang!

Was out getting my act on the track this morning. Started thinking about how the music I choose to listen to while killing myself with cardio can either make or break the entire exercise session. Do you find the same thing?

So with this in mind I’m going to post my current 30 minute running soundtrack. Hope it serves as a playlist for you, or just inspiration to get out and enjoy the sunshine!

To everyone who inquired about my saxophone after the airing of my ‘craigslist’ piece…I’m about to make a public apology.

I’m sorry. I know I said I was selling it but I have reneged. I am, in fact, keeping the saxophone. For a few reasons.

Reason Number One to Keep My Saxophone: I have a lovely new loft studio where I can honk and hoot to my heart’s delight.
Reason Number Two to Keep My Saxophone: I’m taking a wonderful pop culture and music course at Ryerson where I’m learning about the roots of jazz and getting super excited. Thanks Paul!
Reason Number Three to Keep My Saxophone: The theme from “Charlie Brown Christmas.” Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas Time is Here” just sounds so damn good on my alto, Christmas is around the corner, and… well… that’s it.

But it was fantastic to hear from you all so by all means… keep those cards and letters coming!!
Cheers,

Roz
